Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act has rules to protect consumers from “unfair practices” when a seller tries to get them to buy goods or services.<\/p>\n

A seller might be selling goods, such as household items, clothing, or a car. Or they could be selling services, such as home or car repairs, fitness club memberships, or cell phone services.<\/p>\n

You can buy goods or services in a store, over the phone, by mail, online, or at your home. It could be for something you get right away, or something you are supposed to get later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":63083,"template":"","class_list":["post-45332","publications","type-publications","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nUnfair practices - CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario \/ \u00c9ducation juridique communautaire Ontario)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In Ontario, it is illegal for sellers to use \u201cunfair practices\u201d to get consumers to buy their goods or services.
